Abstract

The paper discusses status of the polycapillary optics and its perspectives for the nearest future. Modern level of the polycapillary optics technology permits to speak about possible implementation of a 'laboratory synchrotron' based on a combination of small micro-focus x-ray tubes with (10 ÷ 100) W power only and optics. In this instance, at the lens focal spot having a size of several microns, a flux of the order of 10⁷ photon/sec μm² is obtained. After a half-lens, it is possible to obtain quasi-parallel monochromatic flux with 10¹⁰ photon/sec mm2 density. These parameters aer comparable with those of mid-generation synchrotrons. On the basis of this optics, the Institute for Roentgen Optics has created new generations of compact x-ray fluorescent spectrometers, diffractometers, comparators etc.
